So be patient, patient, when waiting for the goldAnd wait only as long as you have toDon't wait 'til you're too old'Cause I stood outside so longAnd I stood 'til the bark on every tree was goneSo come on home tonight,And fight for what you knowAnd say what you think,But please say it in loveIf you follow the crowd,Just promise me one thingPlease know your heart before you begin to sing'Cause I'm on my way back homeAnd I found that the story was true all along'Cause I'm on my way back homeAnd I found that the story was true all alongWon't you get, won't you get through to me!And the sound of your voice was theone that carried meOh, the sound is breaking all my bonesWon't you sing again, I love itThe fight for me life is knocking at my front doorWon't you let him in this timeAnd won't you let him in this time
